I Want a Little Girl

I want a little girl, call my own. She must be someone who's all alone now. Say, I want a little girl To fall in love with me, oh yeah. I want a little girl, but she may not look Just like a picture in a story book. If she can cook chicken, yeah, She'll suit me to a T. And she don't have to wave her hair Or even wear fancy clothes, I wouldn't even care. She don't wear nylon hose, oh no. I want a little girl To love a lot. You know that I'd give Her everything I got. I want a little girl To fall in love with me. --- I Want a Little Girl - Count Basie and Count Basie & His Orchestra
